National Conference Wednesday claimed that Jamat-e-Islami, one of the largest socio-political groups in Jammu and Kashmir, will support Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in the forth coming polls and all its cadres are on tenterhooks to ensure victory of the main opposition party in the state. JeI is another face of PDP and during the polls, it is Jamat that has directed its cadres in valley to vote for PDP.  They have done it earlier and they will repeat the same at present also,” said Additional General Secretary Shiekh Mustafa Kamal. JeI has decided to boycott the polls recently.He added that JeI has always been at war with the National Conference and history bears witness to the fact that it has always created hurdles for NC when it comes for the representation of peoples’ aspiration at large.

They (JeI) will not leave any stone unturned when it comes to work against NC and its interests,” said Kamal, adding that earlier it was Hizb, the armed wing of JeI that killed several NC leaders at various places in Valley and when they tasted defeat on political and armed front- they began aiding PDP that was established for the eradication of NC from the political spheres of Jammu and Kashmir.Substantiating his claims, NC’s senior leader stated that the flag of Muslim Muthida Mahaz (MMM) during 1987- of which JeI was the main component and PDP’s flag is one. “What more you need to know about the equations of PDP and JeI.”Commenting over the recent statement of JeI Chief Mohammad Abdullah Wani about Modi, Kamal stated that it is JeI’s indirect support to Modi. “Both are the extremist elements- once PDP wins in Valley- it would be the win of BJP in New Delhi.”
